It has been a year and half na, since I started blogging. And I realized how matured I have grown na, when I started blogging. It was really fun, looking once again sa mga previous post. It was like reeling back to the time when I typed those posts. Yan tuloy, I am deciding whether I will blog ulit or not. But looking forward on making more posts. :))

2010-02-22T04:45:00.000-08:00

Sabi ko sa inyo. Babalik ako.

Wow. Tingnan ninyo ang header ko. FF na lang. Hindi pa kasi ako gumagawa ng bago eh. Nandun kasi sa kabilang computer ang Photoshop ko. Wag niyo na lang uli pansinin.

So.. Anong meron ngayon. Wala namang bago. As usual. Nag poprocrastinate (tama ba?).

Wala lang. I just wanted to blog as long as I can afford to do so. Malay mo, magunaw na ang mundo mamaya, hindi man lang ako nakapag post ng bago. Diba?! Diba?!

Sa mga nakakabasa neto ngayon, matapos ko siyang i-market sa Facebook at gawing status, mukang naging effective dahil binabasa mo siya ngayon. Tulad nga ng sinabi ko, BAWAL ang TAMAD magbasa. Totoo iyon. Ngayon ko nga lang nagagamit ang reading skills ko netong mga panahon na ito, sa mga mas mahahalagang bagay kesa mag basa ng mga Nobela at Stories. Kasi nagrerequire ang course ko ng thorough reading.

So, kung gusto niyong makialam ng may buhay ng may buhay, mas matindi pa kesa mag view ng mga profiles sa Facebook, follow niyo tong blog ko. At wala kayong mapapala. HAHAHAH!!

That's it for no! Till next time!

I'll be back. Promise. Cross my heart. Tamaan ka man ng Kidlat hanggang sa maging Barbecue ka.

BYE!

My Comeback Post: Feelings towards Images (EMO?)

Nakalimutan ko na kung paano magpalit ng Header ko. Wag niyo na lang pansinin.

I am back to blogging. Eto na nga. It was almost a month when I started to give up blogging.
I even forgot replacing the header. My God. Anyways. I am really happy that I can blog again. Na. Ulit.

What brought me back to blogging?

Blogging is like, parang hangin that listens to you if no one is there to lend their ears.
Sa tulad kong makuwento, nangangati ang gilagid ko kung hindi ako makakapagkuwento. HAHAHA! Joke.

What brought me back?

Tulad nga ng sinabi ko, ang blogging parang hangin. Minsan kasi, bilang tao, we need to express ourselves. And we sometimes tend to imagine that we are talking to a mob, or a crowd.. O sige, just a group, na makikinig sa atin. Everyone is a story teller. Sa ngayon, my feelings are overflowing. I need some entity, na sasalo sa nararamdaman ko without hard feelings na masasayang kapag umapaw. See? the metaphor?

Wala lang. I've move in to facebook kasi eh. Mas interactive kasi. Bakit? Kung pwede bang mag harvest sa Blogger, why not? My god. I ta-TAB ko pa siya. hahahahah!

What is lack in facebook, ay yung parang ganito. Yung pwede kang magsulat na makikita kaagad ng lahat. Yung kumbaga drawing mo eh, yun ang na eemphasize. Hindi yung applications mo. Hindi yung nag to-THROW ng pillow sa'yo. Hindi yung mga questions na talaga namang, ewan.

Sa ngayon ang topic ko eh.

Eh my feelings towards Images. JPGs. Pictures.

Ewan. Ang dali ko kasing madala sa mga pictures. Pag nakikita ko, feeling ko, ako yung kumukuha ng litrato, nararamdaman ko kung ano yung feeling dun sa Lugar ng pinagkuhaan. SUPER POWERS? No. Sensitive lang ako.

Minsan nga eh, na gegets ko kaagad ang Story behind sa image.. Or what they feel. Weeelll, it's coincidence, but at the back of my mind... I really feel somwthing from it.

Excuse me. hindi ito Ghost Story.

Sa mga na view ko na pictures sa images, wala lang. Emo kasi eh.. kaasar. May mga pictures na napaka NOSTALGIC. Feeling ko, I've been there na also. Pero hinde. Siguro yung PREVIOUS life ko, (BAGO ako naging Merc) that's my Hometown or madalas ako sa mga ganung lugar. Medyo kasinaniniwala ang Lolo ninyo sa ganun eh. yung reincarnation.

Hindi magaganda ang mga sceneries dun sa image. Pero.. may nararamdaman lang ako na parang... yun nga. Na it' is very Close to my heart.

Anyways, hope you read it all the way from the first word to the last.

That's it for now. I'll be back. I promise. Comment naman sa CBOX ko!

Bye!

Hello. Natapos na rin ang christmas. You know, at first, when the 6 o'clock news started counting 100 days before the 25th, I feel so thrilled like.. I started counting all of the friends that I wanted to surprise with a gift, I began to choose what type of dress i am going to wear for the parties, the places to go to.

But 25th passed like an ordinary day. The spirit was not there. I am not contented.

Well anyways, it doesn't really matter. baka ako lang yung nakakaramdam nun.

I just posted to make it clear that I am still alive and ready to blog. My father left already to work abroad. And I am quite happy that the grip of authority loosened. I am counting on the 31st because.. once again I am going to Bocaue to buy some firecracker (to risk my life).

Tomorrow I'll be attending a Youth Summit (praise the Lord) at Cuneta Astrodome.

That's it for now. Be happy.

I lost some. I gain some.

Just this Monday, I lost my phone. It was one bad mistake. I just TEMPORARILY placed my phone in my pocket because I kinda'.. in a rush to go to school. But that mistake cost my phone already. I think it slid from my pocket to the Tricycle's seat. I am at the school already when I thought of my phone. Whoah. I keep on praying that I just left it in my bed, but worst comes to worst, there's nothing in my bed when I got home past 6 pm that day.

It is the first time that I lost something that costs thousands. But, in the back of my mind.. I am telling myself that.. "Well, I've spent almost 3 years with this phone.."

That is not the thought. I should have valued it all the way till I got another new phone. Losing it was like throwing away a wad of cash on the streets.

But.. It already happened. I got my brother's old Sony Ericsson phone. If you want to have my number, just send the request via email. (Only for my close friends)

Just this week also, some of my closest friend in blogging already bade goodbye to blogger.com. For almost 9 months, we updated ourselves with some of the most wonderful things that transpired in our life, even though we do not meet as much as we wanted to. Anyways, I think, like how we go back to our houses when the day is done, the same way to them.. they'll be returning back.

I'll not give up.

That's it for now.

Hey! Take a look at my new Project at PS. Well, it was simple, but as for me, I took pride in having accomplished another work, even though the skill is not my forte. There you go! It is not finished pa eh. I edited my friend's pic. Another Proj. Jehk.

2009-11-07T22:26:00.000-08:00

A month and 2 more weeks will lead us to the most celebrated day of the year, Christmas.

My mom and I went to the mall to buy some Christmas decors. And walking between those narrow pasilios filled with glittering flowers, balls, lights, wreaths... all give me an enigmatic feeling. It's just that, Christmas season really rushes my pulse, due to the excitement brought by all the activities offered by the season. Wala lang. Masaya lang talag.

A nostalgic sensation runs through the back of my mind. I remember my carols during my childhood, my singing of the never ending Christmas medleys, the Parties, the new dresses, the cool wind... talagang nakakapag pagaan ng feeling.

Especially when the English christmas songs starts to blare from the speakers like Silver bells, Blue christmas, White christmas, .... speechless. I always remember the portration of Charles Dickens in his works defining the 1900s Christmas, let me imagine it for you.. ahem.

The orange brickwalls, cobblestone pathwalks, the glimmering lights, snow, overcoat jackets, chimneys, hot soups, carols... wow. Very very very very nostalgic.

Masaya talaga pag Christmas (especially the Charles Dicken's way)

Anyways, since I start realizing this feeling, this coming Christmas, I will be savoring evry feeling that it will bring, that lighten every one's feeling and soul.

That's it for now. God bless.

2009-11-07T22:15:00.000-08:00

Aruin's blog is now hibernating. You've got to see it. Actually it made me feel sad when he had done that, but it was his decision. Remember when I also posted that I am deciding on doing the same thing on my blog? But, I did not do that. It's just that, I can only blog once a week. But give till the first week of December, then I will be posting more and more things which I certainly want to share.

2009-11-02T22:27:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I just turned 17.

Yes. Well, it is one long bloggable story, but it would be nicer if I will give to you the shorter side of what transpired yesterday.

The day started at 6 am.

Yesterday is one of the most significant moments (or just maybe unforgettable) that moved my life. First thing is that, I just received my ticket to seventeen (Deiparine 2009), and the fact is that there was no more turning back to what is written to happen. Second, I was so moved to see my HS classmates ONCE again after so many months of being away from them. I can still remember the last time I stood in front of them (because I was their class mayor then), their faces.. it makes me sick.. sa araw araw na ginawa ng Diyos. But yesterday, I know for myself that I missed them so much.

I asked my parents to prepare me a buffet good for 70+ persons. But actually, there are only 50 (i think.. ) who attended. It is because, I know on my heart that this Cowboys have a lot of space in their stomachs, and a single round will not make these people burp.

My 8 year BEST friend also came. Oh, how I miss him so much. And he also accepted the same feeling. whoa.

DELPILAR. RIZAL. FRIENDS. They all came to my birthday. And I really love the idea of having them with me on my day. With Arnold Clavio also celebrating his birthday. With Jose Samaniego (a good classmate) also celebrating his birthday.

HOW they also changed their looks! Some gained some weight, some lose inches in their waist (and tummies), some lifted some iron wheels, and a lot of them never changed.

Our pastor also came and prayed for me. And I love it. My friends sang me a Happy Birthday. And it was good. My best friend sang my favorite song. And it was the best. I celebrated my birthday with my friends. speechless.

My class gave me a customized pillow. I did not expect receiving any gift, since first, it is awkward to give to a male, second, I did not expected something from them eh.

That's for now.

till next time.

2009-10-23T20:21:00.000-07:00

ON HIATUS.

I am deciding on facts that I am not posting as much as I wanted these past few weeks. That's why, I am considering to set my blog on Hiatus because... I am very very busy these days and ... I cannot waste any minute over things which are inessential. BUT THAT IS NOT FINAL. since, it is sembreak and there's nothing more to do for almost THREE WEEKS, i can consider posting evry week end, with nonsense details.

That's for now.

THEN HIBERNATE.

2009-10-23T19:34:00.000-07:00

Hey. I am so lucky today that I sneaked into my Father's desktop to find out that I have the freedom to post another nonsense things that I am willing to blog about.

well, I just wanted you to take a peek at my Cellphone's gallery. Especially the images. Here it goes:

I took a picture of my classmate at the Souvenir shop at La Salle. A random shot.

A casual class picture. This is my section. The image was taken during our practice for our class project.

I was just wondering around La Salle and some unknown entity whispered to me and said "Take a picture of me. Asshole".
There it is.

Another random shot. I was just experimenting with my phone while crossing the street.. then.. voila! Looks like Kuya Guard is on a majestic pose. Chest in, stomach out.

I just tried to take a picture of my section in a chaotic mood. We are on our usual room during classes. There in the middle is my Mother and son korean classmates. They are very good in Filipino.

(more.later.pa)

HELLO!

long time no post! So many things that transpired this week. I am so happy that I am back on posting here at blogger. I thought I will never be able to catch a glimpse at my blog.

Last week, Wednesday, about the contest thingy that I joined, I WON!!!!

Rejoice! Rejoice! rejoice! I am so happy when I received the news that I won a stunning 2500 pesos (YES! I am on the 1st place) just because of writing! I am really overwhelmed that time. Though I did not attended the awarding ceremony, I still felt the vibrant aura of attaining the pulpit. Know why?

Thursday, the day after the awarding, TO MY GREAT SURPRISE, 3 of my professors and a insignificant substitute professor, said the same line..

"Jerricson, na claim mo na yung price mo? bakit wala ka kahapon?"

FUCK!!!! Pano nila nalaman iyon? They told me that there are so many people in the Auditorium, and most of them are professors (because along with the ceremony is the program tribute made for teachers) and they told me that MY WORK WAS READ IN THE CEREMONY.

It was worth it.

Later that afternoon, I treated 5 of my classmates in cafe Josefina, and I also bought an 18 inch pizza for my family. It was really overwhelming.

Me and my classmates at cafe Josefina.

This is my number at Greenwhich when I ordered my pizza.

That's for now!

2009-10-10T00:13:00.000-07:00

Teachers are indeed great. Because without them, I cannot join another contest again.

Just this Monday, I again joined a university wide writing contest entitled "My Teacher, My hero." Of course, obviously the essay is all about the teacher thingy. I joined the Filipino category, which of course is my forte. I placed it in a CD (according to the instructions) and a hard copy. I forgot to copy the file containing the piece from my desktop. But As I remembered it, it started from this line.

Ang Aking guro: Pinakamagaling na Superhero

Anong kulay kaya kapa (cape) ang dapat isabit para sa kagitingan ng aking guro? Ilang bato ni Darna ang dapat lunukin mapantayan lang? Anong screen name kaya ang dapat ipangalan? Walang Darna o Batman ang makakapantay sa aking guro, sapagkat ang tunay niyang lakas ay nakabinbin sa kanyang puso.

Well that's all I remembered from my piece. Actually, I joined the contest because of its price. The champion will win 2,500, second will have 1000 and the third will have a house and lot, joke. The third will win 500. Plus, your work will be published in the University Journal. Arrogance aside, in terms of Filipino writing I know I have the edge. I am competing in provincial tilts, so the 4 year experience is enough training. And to add that...

The bulletin in the contest is 'small time'. For short, there are only few individuals who are not interested in writing PLUS, few people will have a knowledge that there is a contest going on, THEN I have more chances of winning! Gets mo?? right?

To make the thought short, I will have a chance in winning 2500 or 1000 or 500 just because of writing! Nagsulat lang ako, then I tried to play my luck, then MONEY. See? HAHAHAHAHAH!

Just got my new desktop last week. It has its own router but I am still about to buy a long cable so I can have my own Internet access in my room. Oh, from my post about the SUV that my father bought, it is actually delivered today together with the Bravia. I am just feeling lazy in posting about it.

That's for now!

2009-10-03T00:20:00.000-07:00

why do I have to travel all the way to Tagaytay just to have a piece of paper?

Yesterday, my mom, my brother, of course me and a family friend (who actually referred to us the idea) traveled all the way to Tagaytay for me, and my brother, to apply for a Student's driver's License.

Why there?

It is because, if we apply here in Imus LTO (land transportation office), it will take us a week, great effort and a sum of big wad of money. In Imus, we are first to retrieve a personal TIN number from Trece Martires, where the BIR of Cavite is situated, or we can just pay them 250 php for them to retrieve the number (actually, for them, retirieving the number is just a phone call away.. mga mandurugas), then we will have to wait for three days for the process. After that, we will return to Imus to process the license, then that is just the time we can get the Student's license.

While in Tagaytay (hey this is a secret ahhh!!), there are offices which can provide us with our TIN number, for only a smaller amount, RIGHT AWAY. Then we will just fall in line for some processes then.. TADA! I can now savor the smell of the newly printed license.

Anyways, the travel to Tagaytay only took us an hour and a half. The airconditioned bus costs about 66 pesos, while when we returned and tried the ordinary bus, the four of us is already paid for 60 pesos... sucker.

I thought it is not really cold outside because it is a lot cooler inside the bus, with me, the only occupant of the last row. But when i stepped out from the bus... I thought I was still inside the mammoth ride. Indeed, Tagatay is still a cool place to visit.

We came at around 12:30, which means, office lunch break. So we just also ate our lunch in the nearby eatery.

The place is actually Cavite's Capital Cow Slaughter House. It means, most of the beef sold in Cavite's market came from this area. So, we took the opportunity to buy the beef from the place. Mom spent 850 pesos for almost 8 kilos of meat. It was a good deal.

We also catch the opportunity of eating a HOT Nilagang Baka from the COLD Tagaytay. It was really a suiting meal.

Here's a pic.

The meat is so soft. Chefs ,I think called this "RARE". Indeed, the softness is rare. Mostly, we spent a lot of time gnawing over a square inch of beef. But here? No more than a second. HAHAHAH!

The people beside us ordered a WHOLE LIMB of a cow for Nilagang Baka. Infront of them, the semi-boiled cow is chopped and placed in to a MALAKING PLANGGANA, with a blazing torch beneath it. They enjoyed the meal.

That's for now.

2009-10-01T05:53:00.000-07:00

I am still active. I just don't find a suitable time to blog. as for now, I am still waiting for my router to work. I have a lot to say (just like the old times).

currently, I am so busy with my projects, which gives me no reason to flirt around. So, just knock on my blog and enjoy everything here!

2009-09-27T23:06:00.000-07:00

ONDOY Sucks!

2009-09-26T01:14:00.000-07:00

Hey! After all this years.. I returned to blog about what just transpired.

What a pleasant surprise (sarcasm). My dad just came last Wednesday. I find it way too early because I am used in seeing him about.. a year or more. But, here he is, fresh from.. a place only God knows, where that ship dry docked and left him there to go home.

I did not go with my mom to fetch him at the airport. I stayed at home because I still have lots of things to do. About 10 that night, he came in full black attire. With loads of clothes and things which later on, I will be enjoying playing with.

And, indeed. I got a new HTC touch phone. I haven't taken a picture of it pa.. but later on, I'll be showing it to you. And of course bags of never ending chocolates. And he got an iPhone for my brother. Shit. Dapat akin iyon. It's okay, I got a bigger surprise.

You know what it is? He then really decided to enroll me in Medicine School after I graduate BS PT. When I heard that, I really wanted to cry, because it is one of my greatest dream. I want to be a Medical Doctor someday. You know... there is the assurance of having a professional work someday.

That is why I really need to work hard to finish my course. I will not fail them. I will really not. Swear.

That day after, to my greater surprise...

They bought a new car. An SUV.

In the past, we are really arguing on what new car to buy. My brother and I suggested buying Mitsubishi Montero Sport. God. That car is really and EXTREMELY unique, VERY VERY seldom to be seen in streets and it is way too hot! Even in our neighborhood, there is really no one owning the car. But, the scary thought.. it is 2 million pesos. Here's the pic.

My Father, THE BUYER, decided then to buy 2009 Ford Everest, because.. He really likes it since last year pa. Well, it is not bad. HE chose the color Blue (Aqua blue) because, it is his favorite color. And it will be delivered next week. Good thing it is way cheaper than Montero -- 1.6 mil... well, it is not my problem anyway if he will not able to pay the 3 year period, and find his car.. behind those glasses again. Here's the pic:

Wish I had my own car na. Admittedly, I feel envious to my others classmates who are blessed to have their own car. Anyways, I know there is a time for everything. I just told my father that after my graduation (which is 4 years from now), they'll just give me, kahit second hand, na Honda CR-v. That car, I may say, is the best best college car. Well, they nodded and said.. Mag-aral ka muna. Bayaran na muna natin itong isa.

HAAAAYYYYY... Juice ko Lord.

In God's time, I just said to myself.

2009-09-22T07:03:00.000-07:00

My mom just bought me a pair of black shoes this day. It was quite a surprise because I am still enjoying my moments with my Trigun shoes.

The shoes was actually for a formal purpose. But the shoes appears more like a pair of snickers. Well, that's okay.. for a change.

2009-09-21T03:33:00.000-07:00

This is my new project for the Proj. Jehk compilation. There you GO!!!

2009-09-19T20:23:00.001-07:00

Birthday week ba ngayon?

Just this week, I was only oriented in group messages, that there will be 4 celebrants this week! Namely, my co- bloggers, Thomas Dominic "Pangga"/ "Papa Domz"/ "Nico Santiago" Daroy and Desiree Barredo, my friend Ciara Mae Yu, and my Music teacher Mrs. Exaltacion C. Edang.

What a small world! That I am surrounded by almost four people celebrating their birthdays on the same week.

First, I would like to wish them a HEPPY HEPPY HOPPY HOPPY HAPPY Bersdays! Sana ay kunin na kayo ni Lord, Joke. Wish you all the best lucks in life, and like what Mel and Joey were saying, 'always be a blessing to others.'

Anyways, yesterday, I was invited in my very close Kulangot friend, Ciara's party, who is celebrating her 71st bersday (hey! that is according sa nakasuksok na candles sa cake niya.! binaliktad ata ng Kuya niya! WAHAHAHAH!).

Unang una, gusto ko makipag kita sa mga tight tight close close friends ko in High School. And they never failed me. I hug a lot of them and gave them all a hearty high five!

Along with my classmates, is a VERY GOOD friend of mine, Kenjiro Volante (Kenji, kung nababasa mo 'to!), who talked a lot with me. Indeed, he is still the good friend that I know. Although, he gained weight (talagang mi-nention), he is still the same- one of my best buddies in High School. 'Jiro, apir! salamat nga pala uli sa company and sa Lollipop na may Glow Stick.

Speaking of the Lollipop with Glow Stick, Kenji actually gave me one! He said he bought it near his School (Mapua Inst. of Technology). It was actually amazing. Imagine, me, enjoying my lollipop that night, while the stick is Glowing while hanging from my lip! It was really unique. And a lot of people are looking at me , while I am already on the jeep, baffled with the lollipop I am sucking.

Here's the pic:

There are a lot of people who attended Ciara's party. Let me list it for you. Oh wait, I will aslo add the school and course they are taking.

From now on, I will be naming my compilation of Adobe Photoshop works...
"PROJ. JEHK"

Yep. That's the name.

Projecting the endless possibilities, A work or a Project, A compilation of Jehk's Project.

2009-09-15T07:17:00.000-07:00

It is retro fever again! I just made another project in Photoshop because I want to make a sample image to propose a theme to our group project.

There you go!
I love retroww!

These are my other projects.

2009-09-14T06:12:00.001-07:00

One sign of faith. One La Salle.
There are lots of bulletins this day. But there are only two things that caught my attention.

First thing is the bulletin that confirms the Student's Week.
Student's Week is one of the most awaited season in the community. Why? Coz from the name itsel, 'Student's Week' so, it is our week. Una, we can dress whatever clothes we want to wear. Pangalawa, we can decide if we will have the quiz for this week or not. One shout of "Student's Week!!!!" from the crowd will already decide who will the game this time. But doing these things are done at our own expense.

Second, the bulletin about the limited edition of the "One La Salle Baller" released just this day. Just from the word limited will send the people marching to the office where the baller is available. Luckily, in that 100 pieces (I think 100 lang coz we are turning 100 this coming year) I got one, and I am placed at the near bottom of the list.

One La Salle means, the unity of almost 18 Lasallian Campuses nationwide, all believing in a single faith and single virtue. Though separated by mountains or seas, the spirit will still live on in their hearts, knowing that there is a big family out there, with assurance he/ she is one of them.

2009-09-12T00:54:00.000-07:00

I may have not build a house that day, but I had been building them hopes even before I am not there.

Just this day, my classmates and I, together with some sections in the university, had gathered to make a difference. This is a planned activity in our NSTP, which is sure to start a new outlook for us.

We decided to go to a housing project in Rosario, Cavite, spear headed by the Gawad Kalinga Foundation, to the families who has no place to call home. It was a new village, finished 2 months ago, and just recently occupied by almost 20 families.

According to the people, the house is not really free. They will just gain ownership to a unit IF they helped in building the house, and they are willing to pay 800 pesos a month for the lot they occupied.

The way to the vicinity was really exhausting. I took us almost 2 hours just to locate the area.

It was actually raining when we first step our foot to the unknown terrain. good thing I had my green jacket with me. The rain, I can handle but the work waiting for us? I don't know.

We were met by Manong Kuya and briefed us with what we are supposed to do. I do not know if it is a good news or a bad one, because Manong Kuya told us that we cannot build a house this day because first it was raining and second, there are no more supplies left for us to be able to build even a single wall of a house. It's okay. Manong Kuya just told us to wait for the other students to finish so that we can have our turn in painting the walls of the houses.

So we waited for our turn. We just entertained ourselves by meeting people and families that are occupying the units. The folks told us that they are required to welcome the visitors that are coming over to their place, in return of the efforts that the volunteers are doing for them.

The people are so hospitable. They are even pulling us in to their houses and offers us their lunch. Of course we denied their offer because.. syempre nakakahiya.

When it is already our turn in the painting job, I chose to paint the blue houses with the second coating. Actually it is fun, but the work is somewhat messy. My classmates finds the job fun too, and they really enjoyed the whole idea of being there.

We finished the day as early as 12:30 pm. We ate our lunch and interviewed the crowd. They have a lot to say. Meybe our presence was really of great importance because, people like them badly need someone who has the ear to listen to what they can say or what idea can they brought up to other people.

Jiselle.

As I can see.

This is ate. I interviewed her.

Ate's only source of living.

After the activity, we just take pictures and waited for everyone else to settle down. I just decided to go to SM Bacoor and bought myself a shirt on sale.

Well, That's all I can say for now!

The whole idea was just random. I just want to accomplish something and try out my newly downloaded photoshop brushes. I actually enjoy the random idea. Plus, I am stretching my creativity muscles since I haven't warmed up for almost a month now.

Here's another work.

Nothing but a chicken shit.

nyeeekkk.

I know he's coming

It all started with a call. He texted me. He is already reaching for me. But I know for myself that I have no real plan of answering his call and reply his text messages.

(for Daddy lovers, I am warning you not to read the following paragraph already)
I know you would not understand me here. I really hate him. You cannot blame me for feeling such. All the madness is coming in full package once he already touched the tarmac. And meeting him in the airport is the start of the great mental torment and anger. The cigarette smoke, the voice, the very presence.. please enough. I want to get rid of those. I really wanted to cry. But it is a sign of shallowness. That shallowness is deep enough for me to drown. I just pretend that I am dead when he' s around, and just rise up from the deep chasm when he's already gone.

That's why, right now, I am starting to grieve.

2009-09-05T21:46:00.000-07:00

I have nothing to say

Hey! I have really nothing to say, actually. But since I have last 2 minutes to use the computer because I want to go to sleep, I would like to say something. But.. did I just said earlier that I have nothing to say.. or to blog? What's the use of this 2 minutes! Saying something is harder in the middle of doing an assignment because, nothing interesting have transpired. Well, anyway, I am enjoying this 2 minutes to enjoy the feeling of 'busy-busyhan' even though I have nothing really to say.

Oh.. the 2 minutes is over.. and I am quite surprised, I have said something already.

Gotta go!

2009-09-04T06:10:00.000-07:00

You are the..

YOU ARE THE... apple of my eye, mango of my pie, palaman of my tinapay, keso of my monay, teeth of my suklay, fingers on my kamay, blood in my atay, bubbles of my laway, sala of my bahay, seeds of my palay, clothes in my ukay-ukay, calcium in my kalansay, calamansi on my siomai, inay of my tatay, knot on my tie, toyo on my kuchay, vitamins in my gulay, airplane of my Cathay, stars of my sky, hammer of my panday, sand of my Boracay, sultan of my Brunei, highlands of my Tagaytay, mole on my Ate Guy, baba of my Ai-Ai, voice of my Inday Garutay, spinach of my Popeye, sizzle when I fry, wind when I paypay, tungkod when I'm pilay, feeling when I'm high, shoulder when I cry, wings when I fly, prize when I vie, cure to my "ARAY!", answer to my "WHY?", foundation of my tulay, truth behind the lie, the life after I die... In short, you're the center of my buhay.

Para kay Punay.

Really, sobrang hirap i-blog nung mga gusto kong sabihin. Una, sobrang dami. Pangalawa, sobrang haba. Pangatlo, Basta.

Kaya, pag tiyagaan ninyo yung Blog ko. Anyways, it's worth reading naman eh. And you'll enjoy SKIPPING through the paragraphs (AMININ!), which SWEAR to GOD I am not doing, but still be able to grasp the whole story I am going to make.

1. Friday: RIZAL won as CHAMPS; I conquered CCP, alone, at last.

Hell YES! IV - Rizal won as Grand Champion in University of Perpetual Help's (My former school in HS) yearly Sabayang Pagbigkas Competition. If you are thinking that it is just one crap, you better eat what you just said coz', we deal with this thing like it is a matter of life and death. AND, it was not your ordinary Sabayan cause once you watched this thing, you'll be filled with nothing but envy. If you want to watch it, I'll give you the link once I am oriented with it's URL.

Anyways. So, The hell I care if they won? Oh nothing! It is just that I am one of the trainers of the group! But the whole idea is not mine. I just gave them what I know and what they should do, and act like one shit in front of them. But, I am not claiming the victory. They are the one who performed, so they just earned the recognition befitting their performance. Of course, I felt also the pride of being one of the mind tank.

I got no images from the event since I am taking my midterms at that time.

2. I conquered CCP, alone, at last.

So here's a BLOGGABLE story.

Last Friday, with reference to my previous blog, yes, I conquered the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

What did I do in that place?
I watched the famoso and world infamous, the Philippine Madrigal Songers (University of the Philippines M.S.). The great. The unbeatable. The NO.1 choir in the Philippines.

It was a planned walk that day. After taking the fucking exam in Kursong Rizal, I hurriedly change my uniform into a casual wear (since I am going in to a formal place), with my brown jacket on.

I am really feeling nervous. I am so excited of going to that place. There are a lot of questions in my mind that is boggling my thoughts and my concentration.

First, I am going there ALONE. I cannot rely in to someone else if I get soaked up in the rain or get lost in the Metro (THAT IS IF!), or got no bus to take me home since the concert will end at 11.
Second, It is my first time in the place! Where is the main door? Where are the ticket verification tables? Where am I going to stay? Where am I going to stay afterwards? SEE? That is the hard part of going there for the first time, ALONE.
Third, It is also my first time to attend in a concert. I do not know what is the process of the concert. The system followed in every concert event.

I prayed in the bus, while chewing the 10 pesos fried peanuts, which tasted eewy so I left it in the bus' window.

me in the bus

the sky that time

Coastal.

What happened next?
I GM-ed asking who won in the Sabayang Pagbigkas, and to my surprise it was IV Rizal (refer to to #1). Knowing the result was already a pay off from the mind numbing midterm exam. So that time my spirit was already UP! To add to that feeling is the excitement that I am going to CCP. Gosh. If you just know what I felt that time.

I dropped of in Vito Cruz, about 6:15 pm. It was drizzling hard in the place. Good thing I wore my jacket. The concert will start at 8, meaning, I was too early for the concert and it was quite embarrassing if I already proceed in the place. So, I planned to go to Harrison Plaza, which is quite near CCP, but I rejected the idea because, ROBBERS and HOLD UPPERS and KIDNAPPERS and PICK POCKETS and BUDOL BUDOL and --- ugghhh.. okay that's enough. You know what I mean. To God be the Glory when I saw a small Mini Stop along Vito Cruz. Now I know where to stay for an hour, and also to fill my stomach so I'll be full if I proceed to CCP na. I ate chicken Kariman (which tastes not so yummy after all) and a bottle of Coke.

SHIT! I am LowBat na! FUck! I have to take a picture of Madz, I need to catch a video, I need to catch an image of CCP-- Good thing (again), Mini Stop had this Charge-o-Vendo, which costs me 5 pesos for 10 minutes of charging (which gives my phone an additional 8 hour of Life span). I slotted 2 five peso coins, so I'll have 20 minutes more reason to stay in Mini Stop, to wait for the concert, and to wait for the drizzle to settle down.

My dinner.

7:10. I am now crossing Roxas Boulevard. Nervousness reached an alarming state.

CCP. I am on the right side.

Problem no. 1 Where am I going to enter the Building. If you are thinking that I am going to climb the "Toilet Bowl", FUCKING NO. Reminder, the ramp is used ONLY if you have the wheels. So, MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO, I watched the crowd to see that they are proceeding to a mini lobby at the right side of the building. I crossed the road, and got my ass on the door.

Problem no. 2 Is this the employee entrance? I saw men in uniform, smoking. FUCK! I think this is Employees' Entrance. Shit. But, God bless Jerricson, I saw a TRIO OF MATRONAS (hahahahhahahahaha! Laughs! It means old ladies with no more worries in life, but Ballroom and sex with Her desperate D.I. dance Instructor) entering the twin door. Oh, I am back on track. I walked towards the metal detector and entered the adorned Right Side Lobby Entrance of CCP.

Problem no. 3 Where am I going next? I saw the THREE MATRONAS proceeding to the left side, but returned and asked the man in uniform where's the Elevator. What am I going to do? Follow the Matronas and got raped inside the elevator or find another way? Of course, virginity first, so I proceeded in the left side and saw a lavish Staircase leading to the Main Lobby of the CCP. I climbed the carpeted staircase and watch in shock how the place looked like.

Do you still remember the feeling during the JS Prom? Nervous? Feeling out of place?. Yeah right. The lobby is filled with men and women on long sleeves, Americanas, long gowns--- FUCK! What am I doing here! I got so scared, and I felt the urge of leaving the place, and tear off the fucking ticket.

No. This is your best experience in life and you've got to beat this no matter what! I rushed to the Service man available, and asked him where is the Rest room, and later asked him WHERE am I going to present my ticket. He told me the secret.

Later on I found myself walking in the hallway in CCP's fourth floor. The door will be opened at exactly 7:30, but I am still 15 minutes early. I just entertained myself with the different paintings and artworks, mix media works, displayed in the gallery of the 4th floor, made by amateur artists at 70's. Sorry to tell but no one is allowed to take pictures in the gallery. sayang.

The time has come for me to enter the golden doors of CCP's Main theater. As I entered the place, I realize that the temperature is slowly going down. The theater was freezing cold! Good thing I had my jacket on, or else I'll be a good frozen delight ready for serving.

The whole theater was lighted by yellow pinlights, scattered above the sealing in an orderly manner. They are softly glowing overhead, like stars... And the stairs? FOTRAGUIST! Sobrang tirik! Imagine that directly at the back of your neck is already the feet of another person? See? One wrong step will make you stumble to the front railings and will send you tumbling to the deep chasms, down to the ground floor. AAAAAaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Anyways, the usherette led me to my designated sit and told me to...

".. turn off your cameras or camera phones as early as now, or we will apply the standard procedure for those who will fail to follow the regulations..."

Ouch.
But since I am really good hearted, I did not turned off my camera phone. That's why I still manage to record some performances, secretly and illegally, and catch some frames during the performance. As a souvenir.

The show started with the National Anthem, while the pin lights are slowly fading its glow.. slowly.. till the theater was nothing but complete darkness. Voices started to resound in every walls of the hall, giving each lucky viewers goosebumps and chills. Then the Philippine Madrigal Singers appeared on stage. Everyone stood up to give the world's number 1 choir the standing ovation they are worthy having.

They started off with a Latin or French songs, and my favorite, C'est Fini La Comedie.

C’est Fini La Comedie

C'est fini
C'est fini la comédie
Tout avait commencé
Comme une pièce à succès
Dans le décor tout bleu
D'un théâtre de banlieue
Nous n'étions que nous deux
On s'est aimé longtemps
Au point d'oublier le temps
Qui tout au long des scènes
Transformait les joies en peine
Il a gagné le temps
Il est content
Quand il nous voit chacun de son côté
Comme des étrangers
Nous n'avons plus en commun
Que les mots quotidiens
Le décor n'a pas changé
Mais les acteurs n'ont rien à jouer
Il faut baisser le rideau
C'est fini
C'est fini la comédie
On était bien parti
Eternité garantie
On était seuls au monde
Devant tout l'amour de l'onde
Pas de sens interdits

Il a gagné le temps
Il est content
Quand il nous voit chacun de son côté
Comme des étrangers
Nous n'avons plus en commun
Que les mots quotidiens
Le décor n'a pas changé
Mais les acteurs n'ont rien à jouer
Il faut baisser le rideau
C'est fini
C'est fini la comédie
Tout avait commencé
Comme une pièce à succès
Dans le décor tout bleu
D'un théâtre de banlieue
Nous n'étions que nous deux
C'est fini
C'est fini la comédie

It was a very lonely song.. the message is so clear.. though sang in french.. I can feel the message in my heart... it was so lonely.. so lonely.. Later on, when I checked the English translation... I know in my heart that it was a lonely grimace of the composer..

There For Me

There for me, every time I've been away
Will you be there for me, thinking of me everyday
Are you my destiny, words I never dared to say
Will you be there for me?

Just think of you and me, we could never toe the line
It's such a mystery just to hear you say you're mine
And while you're close to me, so close to me
Just hold me

When it's blowing cold and all the city streets are grey
Walking all along and watching how the children play
Voices on the wind and faces from the past all dancing by
They're asking why

Are you still there for me, everytime I go away
Are you still there for me, thinking of me everyday
Are you my destiny, words I never dared to say
Are you still there for me?

And while you're close to me, so close to me
Just hold me

Can you really want me more than for a little while
What are all the stories hiding there behind your smile
Wishes in a dream and figures in a world that I could share
And everywhere

Will you be there for me
Will there ever come a day when all the world can see
Things were meant to be that way
And you're still there for me

Can't you hear the people say
That you're just
There for me

You're there for me
There for me

The video after this post is the same performance of the UPMS. But it is not the actual performance at the concert I attended.

Another astounding performance is the own choral arrangement and version of the UPMS of the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". It was really fucking good! IF you can just hear their version, there are animal voices, tribal lyrics and voices, birds humming, deep drum beat, thick baritones... ALL MIXED TOGETHER while some of them are singing the songs itself. It was weird, but the weirdo characteristic of the song was given an A++! The standing ovation lasted for three minutes.

Another one is the medley of the song 'Superman". At first I thought that they are singing the song in an ordinary three-voiced-arrangement. But suddenly one of the choir members stood up and sung "Habang May BUhay" while Superman was sung by the whole choir. Another shift to "Mag da-drive ako hanggang Baguio...", then it led to "Uptown girl", turned in to "Oh baby, baby, baby.." by the F4, and to three more songs I can't even remember, but they all ended up singing.. "KITA KITS SA MCDO!"

FUCK! FUCK! iT WAS too great!!!! They ended up posing into different directions. Great. Just too Great.

(to be continued)

YES! that is my Ticket for the concert of the Philippine Madrigal Singers TOMORROW 8:00 PM at the CCP Main Theater.

Actually, the whole idea started when I flipped on to Manila Bulletin's Entertainment page. I got a glimpse of the Madz (which the Madrigal is fondly called) all seating upright on a dark stage. Of course we all know the prowess of the choir (beating international choirs was a chicken shit to this people). As I flipped on the main column which is talking about the choir, I thought of seating in front of this people, while they are singing like Angels... Haaayy.. on a very cold, dark and soft seats, while a stark yellow light is glowing above the heads of the choir members..

Then, I just find myself holding the ticket to their concert.

I bought the Ticket for only 300 pesos, since I showed them my ID, as a proof of eligibility of acquiring the FUCKING 50% DISCOUNT! WHERE ON EARTH WILL YOU FIND THAT FUCKING PROMO!

The Choir is headed by its choirmaster, Mark Anthony A. Carpio, together with those sweet birdies beside him, singing the best of the best songs that they performed in their entire career.

The concert will be held on CCP's main theater, the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo. And I will be with...

NO ONE on the said concert.

Right now, I am really staring to teach myself how to be super independent.

MORE after the CONCERT!

After buying those, literally, 'Golden Tickets' (which will lead me to the golden gates of CCP, WHOAH!) at TicketWorld in National Bookstore - Southmall, I felt my stomach churn, which means I badly need to fill this hallow cavity, or else it will be digesting its own walls, or worst, I might suffocate, or might be hitted with a stray bullet, OR I MIGHT DIE! FUCK! I need to EAT!!!!

SO I ate at KFC. I ordered Wow Burger Value meal (cause I am on a tight budget today for tomorrow's gala event of my life), and ate it ALONE. But I enjoyed the whole picture - me chewing alone, with no one to talk to, just me and my phone, the chicken burger, fries, receipt, tissue paper, ketchup and a regular coke.

The half eaten meal.

Check this out Guys! I just won as one of the eight top winners of the University wide Literary competition. I was so happy that after so many contestants (All willing students from 1st to WTV year, who are taking Filipino subjects) that competed in the contest, I am one of the top 8! Gosh, just receiving the 'golden letter' that I entered the preliminary screening is so heart warming. To God be the glory!
And sa lahat ng Malalayang bukas at hindi bulag.

HELLO! It's been a week now that I made my last post! And here I am! Posting another senseless topic that people must not 'dare to care'!

MEntions: ERICA! Hello! TY sa exchange ng Links!
RON! Hello! Welcome to Blogging!

Just this evening, the university, together with the Kagawaran ng Panitikan at Literatura ng Kolehiyo ng Malayang Sining, celebrated the GABI NG PINOY, PARA SA ISKOLAR! yehey! It was a variety show, where many students have showcased their different talents! That includes Laurence Guirit (BSA###), Edleen Baysa, Denisse Vergara and Janine Poldo (BSA###), performed on the Lasallian stage this evening. The event was so fun and amusing. It started around 5 p.m. and I think it ended 9 already, kasi umuwi na kami ng 8 eh...

Here are the pics!

Actually, that's the first time na inabutan ko ang ULS ng gabi. I've stayed at La Salle as late as 9 pm, but I never crossed ULS.

Rock on!

That is Jose and Sonic - A. We are waiting for Jose's Innova to roll in front of the Gym.

I made a shot while the shows are playing.

2009-08-08T08:41:00.000-07:00

This is my recent photoshop project. that's it! CHERVA!

2009-08-07T05:09:00.000-07:00

Just this day, I got my new downtown dufflebag! It's here!

Take a look.

I once again defeated my merienda cravings and other cravings last week, just to have this bag. Well, it is worth it. I do not regret on saving something because I know, after all these 'simple penitence', there is a compensation that will quench my wants. Hindi ko naman pinang-beer house, dili naman sa mga bahay na pula. At hindi sa kahit anung bisyo.

2009-08-05T05:48:00.000-07:00

The Lasallian brother asked us to catch as many raindrops as we can.

"Kung gaano kadami yung nasalo MONG ulan, ganun MO kamahal ang Diyos. Pero kung gaano kadami ang hindi ninyo nasalo, ganoon kayo kamahal ng Diyos."

Our section just had our Retreat. It is a brand new thing for me. That is my first Retreat in college. Everything is a lot different than what I am used with. We did more activities that are very suiting for our level, but I think I am less serious this time than my previous Recollections and Retreat.

August Four is the marked date. I know, I am not excited. I even prepared my things when I am to leave the house na! I am quite surprised that, 1st year students? retreat? It should be recollection only. But nevertheless I liked the idea.

We left De La Salle HSI, lulan ng Bus ng Unibersidad. Oh, by the way, to my great dismay, we are to spend the retreat with another section, the RADIOpeople! (RadTech). It's okay. The place was very big and we did not crossed our ways except during meal times.

The venue is at Silang. It was owned by the Rogate Brothers. ( latin word 'rogate' means prayer). Oasis of Prayer is the name. The place was good. I may say. The food also. The ambiance! SHIT! It was so, coooool... and so.. quiet. So serene.

Here are the pics.

That is the main Rotunda. Once you enter the HIDDEN place, there you will see the 'Hollywood' sign.

There is the main door to the paradise. A lengthy walk will take you deeper in the chambers of the place.

ooohhh! That is our Conference hall. The Radtech people are gazillion light years away from our sight.

In the middle of our hall is a decaying trunk. Around the tree lies our tables. Para bagang nasa gabinete.

That is our pavilion. The other half is a secret thingy. Iyan, kaklase ko iyan. Actually, the place was like a SPA HOUSE! Know why. Kasi, inside, hilera yung mga beds namin, with our cabinets aside. Tapos yung harap ng kama namin are WOODEN SLIDING DOORS, so yung hangin deretsuhan sa loob. Para ngang spa house. Tapos may billowing white curtains. Super cozy and relaxing.

Yan yung sinasabe ko. YAn oh! Harap ng kama, sliding door. Tapos, may lamp shade sa wall, pati sa may head board ng kama namin. Yung naka-dapa, nag Pi-PSP iyan. Very cozy. Parang nagbabahay-bahayan. Walang division sa loob, para tagusan yung hangin.

EMO!
Yan, iyan yung pintuan sa tapat ng kama ko. With the billowing curtain. Actually, lahat kami nasa side na iyan, sabi ko lang na mag-silayas sila dahil kukunan ako ng picture. Tingnan ninyo yung picture ng tapat ng PAVILION (2nd previous na pic). Yung nasa gilid nung pic na iyon, IYAN yung side na itetch. Getz? Ang tapat niyan ay Garden. With japanese lanterns. Super cozy talaga ng lugar.

Yan yung banyo namin. Yung pintuan dun sa may dulo, it is leading to our room. One thing I am so impressed about the Oasis is their banyo.

Napaka linis. Hindi yung dripping wet. NO. May cubicles pa dun sa dulo. Hiwalay yung with Bowl and for shower purpose lang. Maganda yung tiles. The door is made from native materials. And hindi ka mahihirapan mag hanap ng SALAMIN. It is everywhere. Very tidy.

Isa pa iyan sa gusto kong features. Lahat may lababo. Lahat may salamin. Lahat working. At higit sa lahat, TIDY. Open air yung powder area, papuntang garden.

Iyan yung sinasabe kong nasa gilid. Lahat kami nung gabi, mga 3:30 ganun, we are staying at that side (only the boys). Super windy and napaka lamig. Habang nag-chacharge ng phone.

That is our first activity! HAHAHAH! Ganda ng KUHA ko no?! Anyways, edited na iyan! HAHAHAHAH!

Sa may terrace iyan. Actually, bangin na iyong area sa may dulo.

That is my last meal at Oasis! Andami kong sinandok. PG! HAHAHAH! Edited na iyang PIc na iyan. Pwede nang pang-magazine HAHAHAHAHH!

That's the Crux di Oval. I took the picture at the cross' side.

This is St. Benedict's statuette being sold at Oasis' SouvenOY shop.

That is the Capiz Chandelier hanging at the Dining Hall.

That is the chapel. It is built at the cliff. Super cool and cozy. And there is a GRAND PIANO at the pulpit. Actually, pababa yung stage, so steps kami naka-INDIAN SIT! OOPSS! NO shoes allowed inside. TApos uupo ka sa napaka-soft na comforters, taz parang nasa bahay ka lang. Haayyyy...

That girl is the richest girl on earth. JOKE! HAHAHAHH! Peace tayo Ana!

HAAAYY! That's it for now! All in all, the event was very cool. And very fine. So relaxing talaga. It's a haven. Especially the place. You know there is one thing I learn at this game.

Makinig ka sa simula pa lang.

CIAO!

A Song For Mary

We stand on a hill between the earth and sky
Now all is still where Loyola’s colors fly
Our course is run and the setting sun ends Ateneo’s day
Eyes are dry at the last goodbye
This is the Ateneo way

Mary for you!
For your white and blue!
We pray you’ll keep us, Mary, constantly true!
We pray you’ll keep us, Mary, faithful to you!

Down from the hill, down to the world go I
Rememb’ring still, how the bright Blue Eagles fly
Through joys and tears
Through the laughing years
We sing our battle song
Win or lose, it’s the school we choose
This is the place where we belong!

Mary for you!
For your white and blue!
We pray you’ll keep us, Mary, constantly true!
We pray you’ll keep us, Mary, FAITHFUL TO YOU!!!

--Hey! That's the Alma Mater song of Ateneo! I like the Melody! You can listen through it in my Playlist.

2009-07-28T07:08:00.000-07:00

NAGULAT AKO

Listen to my new soundtrack. AYOS! Lalo na yung pinaka unang song! ANGAS! HAHAHAHA!

After Gazillion years, I got my most sought pet: RABBIT. Wait, not just rabbit, it's RABBITS.

Fresh from a Seminar for Physical Therapy students at De La Salle, I hurriedly went home to execute the PLAN A.

I've found out that I have enough money from my savings after two weeks of overcoming my indulgences (such as eating during merienda and eating more than what I really needed). I got 1800 php, enough to buy me 4 rabbits and a stainless rabbit kennel. (surprisingly, i still have a big change from the 1500 I paid to kuya). I was so inspired to pet some rabbits after I watched "Kapuso mo, Jessica Soho", featuring some RABBIT BREEDERS who are successful after investing in these BABY FACTORIES. I was so determined to buy since there are two benefits which I will gain from petting this rabbits- ENJOYMENT and ENTREPRENEURSHIP. You know, I am so business minded this days since I've got larger projects to conquer.

Just this afternoon, I got 3 rabbits-- kukunin ko pa ung isa bukas, which I got due to my presses and intolerable bargain to manong kuya. I got the rabbits at their good prices. Thumbs up. Plus the kennel, the feeds, the rabbit pacifier, and happiness.

Here are the pics:

'look at that goochy-goochy, nyama-nyama, what's the name of that bunny? WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT BUNNY! Wahahahah! SOSOSOSO.... cute.

The only male in the pack. Pero lalaki pa 'ata yung makukuha ko bukas.

SSHHHH!!! The ladies are sleeping.

I am cradling the fury male on my lap.

I got a 1/4 kilo of this feed, which is good for 3 days. Pwede daw syang pakainin ng CABBAGE, wag lang daw KANG-KONG and CARROTS. (sounds ironic, eh? bugs must have influenced our way of thinking)

I am building another blog.

This one is for my NEW BABIES, (since I am their kuya) PPT11's (my section) somewhat a INFORMATION site. But this would be under ANOTHER email. Bali ibang account, but, it would be a major link in my Official blog

Uhm, I now discard People are People since tinatamad akong i-lay out iyon and some of the topics are pwede namang i-post din sa Forthered Flicked. Bali kalandian lang talaga siya. Yon.

An unbelievable 4.7 kilometer traffic.

I can't imagine myself in their position.

Just this morning, I woke up, uhmm.. early?, just enough to get to school 15 minutes earlier than my 1st class. This is so factual.

My usual travel time is 1 hr and 15 min, that is with a provision for light traffic. 45 minutes is the fastest time I've gotten to school. But, as usual, Monday Morning Rush Hour Sucks, but I am used with that. I always find a way to escape the monstrous traffic at Palico. Yet, this morning is unusual.

Supposedly, MY INSTINCTS (we all use it, really) tells me that at I should be at "this point" at "this time", 15 minutes after after leaving my house (which is 7 am na). Surprisingly, I am still not at that point. Now I started to feel, something is not right here.

Then, paglabas ko ng Palico, many people are now walking. What?! Are they trying to travel to Manila by FEET?

Then, nakita ko na sinakop na ng GOING TO MANILA cars and lane ng GOING TO DASMARINAS, leaving OUR side with a SINGLE LANE. And that means, ma-tataraffic din ang side namin.

Ayan, nasa jeep na ko. Tapos, the jeepney that I am riding SHOULD be SPEEDING up na at this point. But suprisingly, USAD PAGONG PA'RIN KAMI.

"huh?! going to dasmarinas, dapat mabilis lang ang biyahe?!"

Then, to my dismay, Nasa YAZAKI na kami (isang semi-conductor factory which is 4 kilometers away from PALICO... WHAT?!! PUTANG INA?! ANG LAYO NA NUN?!)

traffic pa din, and saka pa lang kami, nakamove ng maayos.

To my greatest disappointment, I pity them talaga...

the students.

Paano nila aatenan yung mga subject nila?

Ilang units ang kailangan nilang ma-miss?

Paano pag araw-araw ganito? Paano?

the job applicants.

Paano na yung job interview nila?

the Employees.

Late. Iyan ang nakalagay sa DTR nila.

I started to think. AM i lucky for not traveling such a HEAVY TRAFFIC to study, to work and to find a job?

Then I focus myself to the my recent stature. And noticed that ma-leleyt na rin pala ako. Ng 15 minutes.

I LOVE PHOTOSHOP!

This is my recent work in Adobe Photoshop, and this time, although it is chicken shit compared to my classmate's work (Aruin: the best), I like this one. There you go!

2009-07-15T00:35:00.000-07:00

After all these years, nakapag-photoshop na uli ako. But as usual, it is nothing but trash.
Well, I know I can't be really good at this, but I am trying my best to make stupid ones for improvement.

Uhmm... there you go. My come-back-to-me-baby project.

2009-07-14T05:05:00.000-07:00

EXAM NA!

PreLims. I only hear this word from College students. Am i?

When I took the very first major exam in my entire life as a College student, hmmmm..., something is awkward. Actually, it is just a feeling. It is just that... I really can't digest the thought that I am really in College. Well, anyways, it is just a stupid feeling.

oh. Take a look at my new playlist. It's good. Pang-relax.

Just here to drop by.

President: again?! SHIT!

2009-07-11T01:39:00.000-07:00

I never thought that I will be a class officer in college.
I do not remember myself, talking about those things with these people yet, but to my surprise, I was once again a class president.

I never bragged (not even once, i told you) that I have been this or that in the past. I always say to myself that I will let them discover it for themselves, so I would not appear arrogant to them.

Before that, I know for myself that there are this bunch of people who are running for that position. Well, I thought that they are uhmm, capable, (but of course nuisant candidates would always appear in the election). In my survey (survey daw oh?!), it appears that there are 5 of this people claiming for presidency. I am not one of them. They are considering me as 'oh, he's nothing.'.That's okay.

But U-break. DLS - HSI. washday. The election was held unexpectedly. The 'CANDIDATES' are, I think desperate to have the position... As for me, I won't deny it, of course I want to be elected. hindi naman ako impokrito para itanggi iyon.
But the unexpected happens. Of course there are no officers yet, our ADVISER (my god! GWAPINGS! hahahaah! promise..) apppointed me to handle the election procedure. SECRETARY??!! Shit! Never in my life na gagawin ko iyong role na iyon. And of course the 'CANDIDATES' were happy about it. They pressed, 'ah! sige jerricson ikaw na lang! (smiling)'.

Shit?! Okay. I exhaled and walked towards the board. I wrote first the available positions... there... and I started to ask for the nomination... FROM THE BOTTOM.

SURPRISE! Hahahahahah! Gumanti lang ako. It is a technique that these candidates would start nominating their opponents to the lowest level so the unelected presidential candidate would have the top position. Hmmm... Sabihin niyo nang sadista ako.

Disappointed, the 'CANDIDATES' are starting to nominate their opponents. The carnage begins.

As for the presidency, I was unexpectedly nominated.

And the rest was, ALAM MO NANG NANGYARI. Now, you're reading the post of PPT11's class president.

ANG YABANG KO 'NOH?!

HAHAHAHAH! Geh..

2009-07-06T06:26:00.000-07:00

ALERT!

I never really thought A(H1N1) would reach me this far. Finding out that the virus had just creeped into our house's defenses.

2009-07-03T06:45:00.000-07:00

TODO P.E. na iyan!

Swollen heels. Muscle Pains. Back ache. Really, that P.E. class is really F*** hard. Know what we did? We just actually ran for a kilometer, without stopping, without pausing for a while (not even for 5 seconds) and we are obliged to accomplish the task because through this activity, we will gain our score which will be compiled with our other pre-lim scores.

The condition that day is quite giving us a favor. The sky is swirling with silver linings, with no sight of sunlight or of blue hues of the sky. Only gray clouds. Anyways, it is an advantage for us. Breeze is whistling, and it's cold embrace is around the place. We did our task at the University Oval - an Olympic Size track oval, RUBBERIZED, (that's why leather shoes are no nos in the place) and you need to run Two and a Half times to reach the Kilometer length.

Anyways, although it was very exhausting, I did not find it as 'walang kwenta' or something. I haven't run for almost six nos. now (i mean running as lengthy as that), and I badly needed some exercise to check my health (pulmonary-cardio vascular).

At first, I thought the track would be as boring as the rough track--

HeyyA! Wait?! It wasn't that rough and hard like the asphalt. When I first made my step on the orange-thingy, IT WAS REALLY MADE OF RUBBER! Very soft! That time, I realized why leather shoes are really kept off from the track.

The track was really made for RUBBER SHOES, and if you wear one, your run would be very easy, and INSPIRING. It was suitable for runs and short jogs. It was the first time I made a step and ran on an actual olympic track.

But when the gun shook the silence, we (BOYS first) ran the track, with no purpose of getting on the finish line first. (because it was just a test of endurance, it was not a race) I thought it would be very easy. I never talked while running because I know I will run out of air and will soon have a cramp near my stomach.

I haven't made my first loop but SHIT! PAGOD NAKO!! Kala lang talaga madali. Promise. I still have to run one more loop and a half, but with my condition, I am really thinking I am not gonna make it. My classmates, most of them, I think, are vying for the 1st. My korean classmate is 4th from the last. Me, maybe 7th.

Exhaustion struck my classmates na. Kasi naman, they spent their energy na at the first loop pa lang. Me, I reserved it for the last.

200 meters na lang! I boosted my energy na! I am really running out of air, I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to stop! I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to pause! But 200 m?!! Sige pa!

I ran past 6 of my classmates as I blasted to the finish line. BUT to our great surprise, running like a stallion, came my korean classmate, shooting past almost of us.

In the end, with reference SA KATABAAN KO, I ranked 4th. My korean classmate, ranked 1st. Out of 15.

My Windbreaker

2009-06-26T02:37:00.000-07:00

Yes. This is my Lasallian Jacket. I have really tried to save a lot from my 'baon' to have this windbreaker on my own closet. I know what you are thinking. Price Withheld. heheheheheh... It was made of Polyester, can be zipped up to the neck, somewhat a Russian Coat, makes you appear athletic. It has the "LS" initials on it, embroidered on the left side (MY left side).

This the back part of my jacket. The "La Salle" imprint is rubberized and posted at a 'flap-like ' cover at the back. At the neck is a secret compartment for the hood. It is not bulgy if that's what you think. It is straightened up if the zipper is pulled up to the neck.

Michael Jackson is dead.

That's it. (sniff)

I am not really a huge fan of MJ, but I know his stand in the Music World. He is the King of Pop, the Legend who 'Thrilled" the world with his grooves, who shook and shifted the course of the World and influenced us with his Music. He just died this Morning (in our time, but it's 2:16 in California), due to excessive intake of Painkillers (overdosed), the same way the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley died.

I don't know, but just now, I really would like to have one of his album and listen through his music. It was really devastating. A MJ?!! Died?! Nahh... (silence..)

: (

I think it was way too early for an Icon to leave us. Me? I am really waiting for his Grand Comeback to Hollywood. But it was all too late.

He made us dance, he made us sing, he made us groove... Now he made us cry.

to Michael Jackson:

Pre', nasan ka man, salamat sa Musika na iniwan mo na i-nenjoy naming lahat... Salamat sa halos Apat na dekada na pag-tatanghal mo para sa'min... Hindi man ako super fanatic sa'yo, pero yung contribution mo, talagang napaka-influential eh... Kahit na napariwara yung buhay mo, MJ ka pa rin... Hindi ko talaga alam yung full biography mo pero... Iba ka eh... salamat sa Musika. Eto, tribute ko sa'yo tong post na ito. Pre' Nice game.

P.S. salamat sa Billie Jean, lalo na 'yung Thriller, Beat it, Ben, I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Ayos! Solb!

Haayyyy... eto at senti nanaman... shit. New playlist.

2009-06-22T06:29:00.000-07:00

I just don't understand my moods. But right now, I am really feeling sentimental. In just a snap, my head was like as heavy as I have cried for a long time, that I already ran out of tears so I just stopped sobbing. So, to settle down with this enigmatic feelings which is starting to spin my head, I made a new playlist that fits my mood.

It's hardcore SUPER senti songs. Really. Some would not like it, but as for me, this playlist plays real music. They are really, really relaxing- like you just removed your socks from your weary feet. Oh, that sensation. Nothing really beats the classics. If you intend to go to bed after using computer, check out the songs. They will lure you to bed.

PLEASE, check one or two songs on the board, and as a favor, finish the song before tuning in to the other one.

(Look at those songs! My God.)

Paglisan.

I am starting to feel that I am about to have problems with my clothes, to wear for school. I thought for possible solutions that can solve this dilemma. I want something comfortable, stylish, UNIQUE, and blends with the taste of the environment. So then, I formulated this SOL101 to deal with this problem.

I made some cool designs to be printed on shirts. See? With some creativity and basic skills in editing, you can obtain personalized shirts, imbued with your taste and uniqueness that you knew there is only one copy of it in the whole world.

The designs are basically inspired with a Lasallian theme because, as what I have said it should blend with the taste of the environment (DLSUD). It is really unique that I can sure that no one would have those balls to have a design like these:

It is inspired from the "Ako mismo". (we all know that.. hell)

No. I did not grab it from some where else. As a proof, no one ever uses LASALYANO after ANIMO. It's always ANIMO LA SALLE. I just made it like that because it sounds cool... It rhymes.

Oh.. this one would be placed at the back of the t-shirt. It would be minimized at a mere 2''2 inch, directly beneath the collar line. I will suggest this for our section's t-shirt. (CREDITS to 4-Rizal 0809 for the idea.)

Well, i will still continue to edit more JPGs and have an album for my designs. If you know my plans, it would be another source of income. (WINK! keeps out slow learners!)

GOTTA BLAST!!

Sa ngayon, mas pinili kong gamitin ang wikang filipino para maipahiwatig ko ang mga ibig kong sabihin ng maayos, so you would fully understand my story here..

Sa kabuuan naging medyo masaya naman ang araw na ito (first day)... alam mo kung bakit? Kasi syempre you know or yourself na you would be meeting new friends and could form a new circle of chaps, coming from different schools.

This day, I wore my semi-formal attire, dark gray long-sleeves, with semi-fitted maong jeans and pointed square-toe trigun black leather shoes. Someone even thought I was a professor when she glanced at me from my back.

The day never reached my expectations. I thought making friends it would be as easy as throwing away your handshakes with them and TADA! friends na tayo. heheheh!! I know that was overacting, but you know, I am a type of person which everyone can approach and a type of person which approaches first. Some of my sem-mates are snubbish and unpredictable. I give myself hypotheses why they are like that.

"Maybe because they are 'UNTOUCHABLES' and diverges themselves from the crowd, since they group themselves from their kind."

That is a wild guess. A fruit of insecurity. But a very inevitable possibility.know why? It's just that I have sem-mates that came from SAN BEDA COLLEGE - ALABANG, living at the renowned Alabang Hills. Well, that was a WHOAH! for me! I know my limitations and I know how to place myself.

"Maybe because they are FREAKING WEIRD--"

Yeah. I have weird and overacting sem-mates. I think a class is not complete without that one. They prefer to laugh boisterously, talk to themselves like crazy.. ewan..

"Maybe because I am just CHOOSY in finding and selecting friends."

Hmmm... that is quite posible. Of course, as a normal person, you would be finding the hole that you would fit in. Keeping friends is not just for the sake of having someone to be with during vacant periods. We must find a person, whom we know we are comortable with and not just because, that is just the only person you know and have bonded with.

(more??? to-MORE-row)

Sorry. Guys.

fOR your consideration.

5, 4, 3, 2.....

2009-06-14T01:58:00.000-07:00

Pasukan na bukas.
Now, the feelings are real. I am not excited.

ASUS!!! DENIAL!! hahahahahahahah!!! Weheheh! Joke lang. Of course I am excited, but not Ecstatic.

Last year, ecstatic might be the fitting term for my overflowing feelings. Last Tuesday, June 9, is the exact date to celebrate the last year's first day. I can still remember that day, not just the memories, but the thing that makes my memories unique, I still even remember my FEELINGS that day.

Whoa! That's utterly impossible.

Ewan. Basta. Natatandaan ko pa talaga. I an even remember how hot or the level of excitement that I felt that day. But that's not the topic here.

As for my preparation for the 'big day' tomorrow, I shined my shoes, I ask my mom to iron my clothes, I computerized my schedule but, DARN IT, we drained our ink already na pala, I go to church, I prepared my bag (but as I am typing this I haven't done that yet, but for sure, I will do). And I told myself that I should not be insecure tomorrow since I will just be mingling with COLLEGE PIPZ, ALL-MATURED COMMUNITY, UNFAMILIAR CLASSROOMS, AND MANY OTHER STRANGE THINGS THAT ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT!---

Enough! uh!! My gulay. Juice ko lord. Ano ba 'tong pinasok ko. Anyways, I thought of those silly things earlier in my mind already so I will not be culture-shocked with the environment.

It was really different from High S. first day, noh? One factor that I can consider is that, maybe I've just been used from entering the school with most students are a lot younger than me, so I have the assurance that I could junk those jelly-beans on trash bins to get them out of my sight. But the situation right now is an irony of the condition that I have been used with.

Excitement. Earlier this January, AT the epitome of the BOREDNESS TO THE BONES, I have been thinking:

"juice ko lord. nung first day mega excitement ako. ba't ngayon. haaayy!! SANA BAKASYON NA..----"

Okay. Let's rewind that quote..

sagdsfhasdgfasgdhfikjadfugsffbgsdkfgb.... eeeeeeeewiiwiwiwiwiwwwwiieeeeennnggg..!!!(rewinding )

...ba't ngayon. haaayy!! SANA BAKASYON NA--"

Hold it. With reference to my recent feelings and desires, THAT QUOTE WOULD NOT EVEN SPILL FROM MY MOUTH AND NOT EVEN HAVE THE BALLS TO SAY THAT.

And let me add an additional clip for that quote:

and this...

(oh that? nag-lelecture ata ako niyan... sermon ata. 'tas biglang nag-dance number si 'jardo... ayun useless ang sermon ko.. kase ako din mismo natawa... haaayy..)

As of now. I am just on the preparation stage. Papa-load--

(smart? globe?? "globe.." twente payb?" "opo.." "......dead air" antayin... TOot toot... toot tooot.. "okay na..")

..so tomorrow I have the thing that I said at my last post--- THE PANAKIP BUTAS to avoid insecurities and to drive away the rats rattling at our stomachs. So, just watch out for my next post tomorrow on what transpired on the 'big day'. And that will start at 5, 4, 3, 2,...

geh.

2009-06-12T05:44:00.000-07:00

I just saw hundreds of flags this day.
It is June 12 na pala eh. Wow. Ang galing naman.

I have a very holy Independence day. Consecrated, eh? A first time in my entire life time. Rather than having the usual 'tambay at the bahay', a change in the system occurred this year. I think it's more than being a part of the celebration, but contributing in the event for future and for spiritual purposes. Quite corny, really. But what I have done was a thumbs-up for my conscience.

This year, I have involved my self in a somewhat a youth gathering of our church system. It was held at Kawit, Cavite. YES. It was a celebration for the Freedom day, participated by teenagers like me, born-again Christians. You know? Even though I am not a part yet of a society at schools, kahit wala ako sa mga clubbings na nafoform sa mga paaralan, mga organizations, I am involved in Youth Gatherings (Organizations), more wide-scale, more youth-oriented, a National Council, and the thing it is different from other organizations, it was Christ-centered.

Nakipagsalamuha kami sa mga kapwa ka-edaran namin, nakitugtog, naki-sayaw,na may iisang intensyon, to proclaim and to bless spiritually the 111st Independence Day.

It was a breakthrough. Lam' mo 'yon? We have prayed and prayed, prayed like we know each other for a long time now, for our country, learned many things and shaked hands with unknown individuals. It is a suprising to see hundreds of youth like me, praying with our hearts for the nation, celebrating for the freedom we gained. It was really different. It was home.

I have told myself, wish everybody like me would be doing the same thing.

Right now, just this summer, I gained the position of Youth Music Ministry Chairman of our church! That is one of the positions that I have longed for. Erstwhile oCCupied by a lot older than me. Of Course, I play the keyboard of the band, and I shared my musical informations and ideas to these people and I also gained something more from them. It was like a free-summer workshop.

I find it very satisfying. Doing something for a change, and doing it for the glory of God. Contributed in a breakthrough, Changing the usualities.

Amen.

2009-06-08T23:11:00.000-07:00

This is my third photoshop project (unfinished one). I would like to have a vector of myself. Since this is an unfinished business of mine, watch out for the finish product! But basically, this is a mere rookie's work, I may say.

This is my 2nd photoshop project. Credits to Arwin for providing essential ideas for the construction this image.

This is the first one I made in PS. Basic actions and tools are applied.

Photo editing had really changed the face of Media Arts. Isipin mo na lang kung wala nito. then, napaka pangit ng mga commercials, walang matinong design sa t-shirts, pangit ang mga posters and ads, hindi gaganda si aling Dionisia sa picture niya sa invitaion nung birthday niya. hindi maboboto ang mga pulitiko, hindi matatakpan ang tigidig ni Strike.

As for me, a beginner and taking this as a part of my skills, this is a wonderful thing to do during my vacant time, my wala lang periods and dead airs. But, I never sacrificed the appearance of each work that I made just for the sake of accomplishing an image (a simple and very basic accomplishment). I am a tightwad, a critic of my self. I promise my self that even I will not be able to take lessons on making those beautiful and groovy media arts, I will be able to do tasks like those, basic but not trash.

GOTTA BLAST! (I'll promise to myself to edit more pictures for my skill, kahit na pang-weak lang haaaayyy...)

Wag na lang.... WRITING NA LANG!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! weak ako diyan ehhh..

gehgehgehgehgehgehgehgehgeh!!!

First Day:Epilogue

2009-06-02T03:00:00.002-07:00

Kabado. Pero excited.
Asus... kunyari pa..
basta marami talagang feeling.. overwhelming.. really.

Iba talaga pag-first day sa school.
No need na i-explain pa ang feeling ng ibang first times.. going to school is really different. Mixed emotions.

Wait, this post is not about my ACTUAL first day. This is just a, hmmm.. a hula to what will transpire on the first day, not about the activities, but the human feelings that will most probably would take place, in my perception.

UNA: Of course, the night before the 'big day' is really maka-buhos ihi. OH-OH! Don't deny that! Don't deny that you are not excited 'bout the first day. We just tell ourselves that we are not, and our response of course we would really not, BUT deep inside, WE REALLY ARE. It's denial, to appear that we are not like other people, but watch out!, for sure while in bed, IMAGINATIONS will be in the process, and will take us 'bout 30 minutes just to sleep. EXCITED si lolo.

Of course, we prepare our bag, the SHOES specially, the SHOES! We keep them shiny and really admiring. We check if we have the BALLPEN (ballpoint, felt-tip point, fine-tip point, WTV!), the notebooks, the cellphone if it is fully charged, the uniform:

UNIFORM- ibang usapan na iyan. The best ang ihahanda and ipaplantsa! Chemperds, we like to make a good impresion to other people, we wanted to kick off with a good start, to create a clean aura within ourselves so we would feel comfortable, and... we really just wanted to wear the best for the first...

...: our selves, our sanity, our everything, and other vanities this world offers. The night before the 'big day' is the preparation period, I may say.

PANGALAWA: The bed time. This is the period that our mind is concentrated on the things called "WHAT IFs". Korek. Getting to sleep is quite a burden. We foresee the things that what might actually happen on the 'big day'. There are some 'denials' on this page because we tend to say to ourselves that we are not excited. The best thing to do is.... to let it flow. Really. Masarap mag-isip ng mga bagay na gustong-gusto mong mangyari tomorrow, such as meeting your friends again, the school, to see your crush, to meet transferees, to have classmates who are not bully or would step upon you. It is not bad to think that way. The bad thing in doing that is... you won't be able to sleep agad. Don't worry, habang nag-iisip ka ng mga bagay na iyon, makatulog ka rin naman kakaisip.

Sometimes, we think of some VERY IMPOSSIBLE THINGS, which are really impossible but we let ourselves believe in it. Sample? Naiisip natin na... BAKA HINDI PA TALAGA PASUKAN BUKAS! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHH!!!!!! UH-ah! Don't deny that! or... BAKA MA-LATE KANG MAGISING! HAHAHAHAHAHHAH! Which is not really far from being impossible.

And after those daydreams... we will fall asleep.

PANGATLO: Kriiiinnngggg! Kriiiinnnggg! The alarm clock rings and we are awake. Ewan ko, pero pagkagising mo, supposed to be, dapat inaantok ka pa, but, eto gising na gising. That's the effect of the'big day'. We do our morning habits, the K.L.B.B.L.

kain, ligo, bihis, baon, layas.
Pwedeng i-interchange, but the five letters are not lost in the process.

PANGAPAT: Eto na si pogi, feeling fresh pag-kalabas ng gate. Poging-pogi. Ambango. May pera sa bulsa. Bago bag. Bagong shoes (ooopppsss! dinahandahan ang hakbang, baka mayupi ang katawan ng sapatos, maluma kaagad!), Ayaw magusot ang uniform. Bagong toothbrush. Ayaw mabanat ang mukha baka masira ang freshness. At may iniisip.

There are many things that is going through our minds as we go and call a tricycle or jeepney. Things such as, MAY PASOK NA BA TALAGA???!!! WAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! KABADO SI GAGO!! Not just that, things like:

1. Kaninong group ka sasama?
2. Sino-sino ang gusto mong makatabi sa upuan?
3. Sino ang mga ka-section mo?
4. Anu-anu ang pag-uusapan ninyo?
5. Anu ang magiging, tawag dun??? uhmmm.... pasikat something... there's a term for that eh.. pasabog? basta 'yun.

Then while your in the jeep already, you will be relieved kasi you would see other students wearing the same uniform like yours, which means, AREGLADO! May pasok nga. Then at the jeepney, your mind is still thinking 'bout many things. Since it's the first day, ewan ko, biglang umiinit. Mainit. Pagpapawisan ka and your poise is sira na. Then -- TADA! BASKIL! Naku iwasan iyan ah!! And you will find out you forgot your panyo pala sa bahay. And you keep on punas an TXT!

Report. report. Report. While in the jeepney, your hands are getting itchy and there's a need for you to txt and report your recent progresses to your 200 message recipients.

"eto papunta na sa skul. ingat sa biyahe ha!

-gm"

"Nandito na sa skul.. Saan na kayo?"

(that would be sent for over 3 to 5 times, because you're kabado that you have no group to belong yourself.)

That is your defense against tense. Texting relieves us.

You know, water is good. Try one now!

Oh, never mind that. We tend to text while looking at other places, assuring ourselves that we should belong into a group we are comfortable with. As for me, never do that. We should be confident to ourselves. Do not text because for sure, when you are already in school, you would not be able to talk personally to the group or to the person you are texting, or you would not be grouped to the group you do not expect you are going to be with. Tama?? Medyo magulo but the point is there naman.

STOP TEXTING IF YOU ARE ALREADY WITH YOUR FRIENDS. Ampanget eh. Totoo. Nakakaasar. Nakakaoffend. Example na lang pag-nakikipag kita ako with someone. Na-meet mo na nga, nginitian mo na, nakahawak pa'rin sa phone, tapos sa iba nakatingin. Nakakabastos diba. Where's the attention that you should have gained kasi nagkita na nga kayo? Tapos your're trying to bring up a topic, but he/she is answering you like, 'aaahhh', 'oo', 'siguro...'

BWISET! !@$^%#$%^#!!! LECHE!

Anyways, that's not the topic here, but still follow my tip!

When you meet your friends, try to smile and make kamusta them. Talk to this people. Ewan, pero basta talaga bagong dating, mahirap kausapin. But talk to them. To make them settle down their thoughts and feelings. Never offend them kasi magagalit talaga sila. Do not be gay! Be friendly, talk about your life, but never overact, never maging FEELING CLOSE! Nakakasira ng impression and you would regret that you became feeling close over time.

When Ideas Collide

2009-05-20T01:11:00.000-07:00

So anu yan? Ba't may ganyan-ganyan diyan, ha?

I just got this picture when I am looking for images related to the famous site called Wikimapia. If you haven't heard of that site yet, you better get interested. Wikimapia.org is a website which you can actually can catch a look at the actual overhead view of any place on earth.

"Did you just said actual?"

Yes. An actual overhead view of any place on earth. To make this thing clear: Kung gusto mong makita kunyari ung itsura ng bubong ninyo, kung gusto mong makita iung mga kalsada papuntang kung saan man sa planeta yan, makikita mo iung lugar na iyon, TOTOONG IMAGE, na captured by satellite what-ev camera.

"As in kahit saan?"

Nyeta, kulit, oo nga! It has many features which you can really enjoy, not just the fun of looking where on earth your house is and finding out what color of your roof is. One of those features is putting a polygon which you can label what is the name of that place, or its features, or what is the purpose of that place. Once you clicked the polygon, you'll have your own forum which other users around the globe can comment on it and add some other ideas, anonimously by using usernames even if you are a registered user or the other way around.

"So, what is the connect naman to your topic?"

As a teaser and for your information. Click that given link.

READ IT FROM THE TOP!

Read all the comments wisely. Just read. Do not Comment on the forum.

Ciao, Enjoy.

I'll be back.>>>>>

continuation.
***********
Have you read the link that I have given? If you did not, then you better get out of this site cause you'll never understand what's When Ideas Collide.

Go then.

Okay. Sana naman binasa mo na. Promise. Basahin mo dahil magugulat ka sa mga mababasa mo at lalo na mamaya kung binigay ko na sa'yo ung another link.
The main point here is this.

All of us are possesing different thoughts and ideas whenever we are given an issue to ponder about. It is even more surprising to know that hardly, those numerous ideas of different individuals never find they're links and would always reflect each other and find the other way around.

In the case of the forum that you just read (if you just have read!), collision of ideas of different individuals in the forum of De La Salle University Manila were quite devastating.

Nabasa ko yung exchanges of ideas ng mga tao dun. Lahat sila may point.

(wait before i continue there, sa pag-kakabasa ko ng comments, masasabi ko na matatalino silang lahat and very defensive of their thoughts, i may say, yeah. harhar)

Example, before the comment of mr.____ in the DLSU-M forum is deleted, I still remember his point, which is about mediation. The person is not supporting any side because he is trying to stop the bashing of the non-lasallians to the forum of DLSU-M. He said people must just keep their ideals for themselves and avoid making fights on line.

Para sa akin, he has a point. Tama nga namang wag na lang mag salita against sa school naman na walang ginagawa sa kanila. Ryt? He has his own side.

At may sumagot sa comment niya bigla:

by: another unknown user

at: ____

your indecision is irritating.
Those who post here have chosen sides and have conviction to what they're saying. You on the other hand criticize both sides of the fence. Its all good and well to be neutral and all but you make it seem that having fervor on either side and on what we're saying here is condemnable and altogether idiotic. That is insulting. Your seemingly apathetic statements are insulting

You have no place here in passionate discussions. Its either you choose a side or get the f*ck out of here. As you can see from the comments here, indifference is not welcome.

That is the exact attitude that leaves the most tyrannous dictator or the most foolish idiot to their own mishaps and eventual ruin because of your "without a f*cking care in the world" and "just do your own thing" outlook.

You're neutral opinion is not welcome here. Lucky for you that katanauser admired it. He is open minded after all. His comments are general and wise but nevertheless he still chose a side.

NAPAKAbigat ng sagot. See, mr.____ is just trying to mediate but another person has another point. Yes. Tama yung sinabe ni another user. According to him, Indecision is an action of cowards. Yes. May point iyon.

another person commented in the issue!

by: katanauser

guys, don't be too hard on each other. ____ is entitled to his opinion and though he may not choose a definite stance, he nevertheless possess the right to post his comments here (though perhaps it would be better if you do choose whom to side with). to the one who has no name, you have a right to be upset that ____ remains neutral since i can see the passion in your statements and ____' position clearly disappoints you. but remember, it is not in our power to completely change the wills of others yet we certainly have the ability to influence others' thinking. we all have principles guiding our own stance concerning this issue so instead of bashing each other, why not try winning the argument through eloquence, persuasion, and witty reasoning? well, that's all i have to say for now. break a leg, chaps!!!

That is a wise comment. Comment lang iyan marahil ng isang estudyante. See? wise. That is another point. A certain issue had THREE different points, all are not intersecting, reflecting each other, but collided on a single idea.

That is what i am talking about. We all have our points and ideas. Siguro, all we have to do is to be more open minded, na talagang hindi lang naman isa or tatlo ang matalino lage. Lahat may sariling masasabe na dapat nating maconsider para makabuo tayo ng isang concrete thought para masagot ang isang idea.

But, we must make sure na ang pag-collide ng ideas, hindi tayo nakakabangga na para na tayong namemersonal.

The Wikimapia forums ay hindi lamang nag-iisang lugar kung saan natin makikita ang pag-collide ng ideas.

Katulad na lang ng pag-sakay papuntang Baclaran. Here are the points.

Amiel: Pwede kang sumakay sa may Molino ng Baclaran na Jeep.
Jehk: Pwede kang pumuntang Imus tas' sakay ka ng jeep na Baclaran papunta dun.
Chesca: Pwede ka sa Terminal sa may Talipapa.
Desiree: Ayun

So, sa simpleng bagay na iyon nagkaroon ng collision ng ideas. Pwede rin sa mga comments sa blogs, sa youtube, debates, inuman, korte... lahat.

So, iyan ang sinasabe ko. That is the point of when ideas collide.

Dejavu Brought By School Supplies.

2009-05-18T21:46:00.000-07:00

Nakikita ko pa lang... nami-miss ko na.

Late afternoon news had now started to feature the picture of Divisoria, weeks before the pasukan. Updates of recent prices of Jolina notebooks, pad papers, red sharpeners, #2 mongol pencils, manila papers, plastic covers, dora the explorer bag packs with free Go Diego, Go Lunchboxes and many other merchandises which many people would buy because of its very affoYdable pWices, became a part of the Headlines.

Eh anong pake ko sa mga china na mga school supplies na yun?

Seeing them, not just in the bangketas or beautifully cataloged in the pasilios of National Bookstore, always brings many thoughts in my mind.

As a child, pag-nakakita ka ng mga school supplies, para 'yang bell signal kung break time na. It always reminds me of the back-to-school season. Lagi kong naiisip:

1. sino kaya ang magiging classmate ko?
2. may mga bago kaya akong kaklase?
3. ano na kayang itsura ng school? ng teachers? ng chairs?
4. may bago kayang teachers?

Pag nasa bookstore na, hala. Akala mo ang daming pera. 'si turo dun, 'si turo diyan. kahit di kailangan, magkaroon lang.

"'Nak, diba may ganito ka pa?"
(child isip) " Ay! hindi na magagamit iyon, kase.... (blah, blah nonsense, walang konek ang dahilan).. kaya kailangan ko niyan."

"okay"

(pustahan next year, the same na gamit, the same script, the same ang pag uusapan at pagtatalunan.)

Through 10 years of repetitive processes of going back to school, na-i-program na sa isip ko yang mga thoughts na iyan. Hindi naman ibig sabihin na 'ay June na, kailangan ganyan na ang nasa isip ko'.. I mean, parang dahil sa pag-uulit ulit ng mga ganitong feeling kada taon, smoothly biglang nag-sesettle ang ganyang way of thinking.

Half-excited dahil umaatikabong tsismisan nanaman ang mangyayari, half-worried dahil sa pressure na applied ng nakaabang na responsibilidad, happy to meet new friends and the events na will come our way through the 10 months going to school.

I have been used with the feeling...

See? Through six years in Elementary. Four years in High School. Tingnan natin kung sinong di MAUMAY dyan. But the feeling of being na-UUMAY is addictive and somewhat brings us a churn in our stomach. A feeling of pre-orgasm (yuck!).

Now, conditions would shift that used feeling.

What factor could cause a 10 year unbeaten excitement of going to school?

Being a college student does.

Gone are the days of being silly like. Gone are the feelings of being very excited in going to school. Gone is the feeling of dejavu of seeing the school supplies.

Why?

Maturity really comes to a person. A change of state of mind. Iniisip ko pa lang para kasing boring na. Papasok ka sa school na alam mong your real purpose is really to study, not to fool around anymore. We started to be more professionals na.

I do not mean that I am trying to escape the responsibilities that awaits a student in college. It is just that, there is no more inspiration of going to school, inspiration like the feeling of being excited, it pushes our will to continue to wake up early in the morning and expecting something great on that day.

Only the will of being successful after four to five years drives us through.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Pag-nakakakita ako ng school supplies, parang gusto mo silang gamitin kasi ang dami nila. Idagdag mo pa ang kanilang very attractive colors. Well, it fades now already. I guess I am just late in realizing this thought. But the feelings never really fades pala, we just told our mind to do so. The Dejavu brought by school supplies remains there. The excitement is secretly hidden. At hangga't may utak ka it will keep on haunting us.

Hi! I am Forthered Flicked and I am new in blogging. I just graduated from being a High School student last March and I would be very happy get some help from people who are very good in blogging.

I haven't made any blogs yet. I would like to read some of the blogs here and maybe through other's works, I can make my first write-up.

Ciao!
